Richard Pryor will lead a discussion on “ Researching and Writing About Haviland.”

A special exhibition of Haviland pieces designed by Suzanne Lalique will illustrate the presentation by Annick Feunteun-Moreau, an HCIF scholarship recipient from Limoges, France.

Haviland Collectors International Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of porcelain and pottery manufactured by the Haviland families in Limoges, France. Founded in 1990, it is an international organization of Haviland collectors and specialists formed to increase the knowledge of its membership and the public-at-large regarding the history, production, significance and appreciation of the wares produced by various Haviland companies.

The vast production of the company founded in 1842 has led to a myriad of interests for the collector. HCIF members are enthusiastic collectors of Haviland dinnerware in 60,000 patterns and variations, stoneware, earthenware and ceramic sculpture pieces.

HCIF members have been responsible for many museum exhibitions of Haviland porcelains.

Some of the most desirable boxes made are porcelain, and artists

hardcover book features hundreds of these beautiful porcelain boxes that are
showcased in more than 600 color photographs. Historical information on early
snuff, beauty, needlework, medicine, and writing boxes is discussed.
